History
It is unknown exactly when this dish was invented as well as which region of the former Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth first produced it; both Poland and Lithuania claim to have created zrazy.{{cite web|url=http://www.globusjourneys.com/Common/Know-Before-You-Go/Lithuania.pdf|format=PDF|title=Lithuania : Fun Facts|website=Globusjourneys.com\accessdate=30 September 2018|access-date=28 July 2017|archive-date=26 June 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200626210936/https://www.globusjourneys.com/Common/Know-Before-You-Go/Lithuania.pdf|url-status=dead}}
In its traditional shape, it probably comes from Lithuanian cuisine, although its name comes from Polish and means a slice of meat or roast cut off from the whole.{{Cite web |title=Opis obyczajów i zwyczajów za panowania Augusta III - Wikiźródła, wolna biblioteka |url=https://pl.wikisource.org/wiki/Opis_obyczaj%C3%B3w_i_zwyczaj%C3%B3w_za_panowania_Augusta_III |access-date=2022-05-19 |website=pl.wikisource.org |language=pl}}
